Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'ancrage osseux, servant à fixer un tissu conjonctif à un os, qui comprend un disque conçu pour être inséré dans une partie d'un os auquel le tissu conjonctif doit être fixé. Le disque peut passer d'une position pliée dans laquelle il présente une section transversale réduite à une position déployée présentant une section transversale plus importante. La position pliée permet d'insérer le disque a travers un petit orifice dans une région d'os poreux située sous la couche corticale, puis le disque est actionné pour être placé dans sa position déployée de façon à être ancré en permanence dans l'os spongieux, étant donné qu'il est devenu trop large pour repasser en position proximale par ledit orifice et retourner ainsi dans la couche corticale. L'invention concerne deux modes de réalisation. Dans le premier mode de réalisation, le disque se présente initialement sous sa forme déployée, en acier à ressorts. Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, le disque se présente initialement sous sa forme pliée, et l'acier à ressorts n'est pas requis.

Abstract: Methods for forming a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor using an
organic anti-reflective coating (ARC) are described. The first electrode of the
MIM capacitor is formed from a first metal layer. The organic ARC is applied,
and the second electrode of the MIM capacitor is formed from a second metal
layer. The organic ARC is then removed using a nominal clean technique.
Because the organic ARC is removed, the performance of the MIM capacitor is
improved. Specifically, the breakdown voltage of the MIM capacitor increases
and the leakage current decreases.

Abstract: "Effect Imparting Apparatus for Controlling Two-dimensional
Sound Image Localization" 
     Multi-channel audio signals arranged to achieve original
two-dimensional sound image localization are input, and the audio
signal of each channel, included in the input multi-channel audio
signals, is distributed to individual output channels. Each of the
distributed signals is multiplied by a corresponding coefficient
determined independently for each of the output channels, in
accordance with a deviation from the original two-dimensional
sound image localization. Then, the audio signals distributed to
the individual output channels and multiplied by the corresponding
coefficients are summed up, separately for each of the output
channels. Thus, the summed-up audio signals of the individual
output channels are output as multi-channel audio signals having
the sound image localization varied in accordance with the deviation.
If the deviation from the original two-dimensional sound image
localization is varied over time, a panning effect can be achieved.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method of transferring energy, clock frequency
and data information without using an electrically conducting connection
between a portable module and host equipment. Energy is transferred
as optical radiation from at least two distinct light sources with intensities
alternating between the minimum and maximum values in such a way that
when one intensity goes from minimum to maximum the other goes from
maximum to minimum wherein total intensity of optical radiation received by
the module and supply voltage formed therefrom is nearly constant. The
clock frequency is formed by and detected as the cyclical alteration of light
intensities. Data is transferred as a modulation of the clock frequency. The
invention relates also to a module comprising means for receiving optical
energy and converting it to into energy, clock frequency and data.

wavelength (λ 0 ) is launched into a fibre, deployed
through a region of interest, and back-scattered
optical radiation in first and second spectral bands,
centred respectively on said first wavelength (λ 0 ) and a
second wavelength (λ -1 ) equal to the wavelength of an
anti-Stokes spectral band which results from inelastic
scattering in the fibre of optical radiation at said
first wavelength (λ 0 ), is used to produce respective
first and second sets of output signals, non-simultaneously
with optical radiation at said first
wavelength (λ 0 ), optical radiation substantially at said
second wavelength (λ -1 ') is launched into the fibre and
back-scattered optical radiation in a third spectral
band, centred on said second wavelength (λ -1 ), is used
to produce a third set of output signals, and a final
set of output signals, dependent upon the values being
sensed, is produced by normalising the first set of
output signals to the geometric mean of the second and
third sets of output signals.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un amplificateur à fibre dopée à l'erbium (EDFA) et une source utilisant l'amplificateur EDFA afin de produire de la lumière dans une bande S de longueurs d'onde. Un amplificateur à fibre (10) dans une gaine déprimée ou une fibre à profil en W présente un noyau (12) dopé par le matériau actif (18) et défini par une section transversale de noyau, et un indice de réfraction no. Une gaine déprimée (14) d'indice n1 entoure le noyau (12) et une gaine secondaire (16) d'indice n2 entoure la gaine déprimée (14). L'amplificateur à fibre est pompé à un niveau d'inversion D relative élevé, de façon que ledit matériau actif présente des gains positifs dans une bande courte de longueur d'onde, et des gains élevés dans une bande longue de longueur d'onde. Dans un mode de réalisation, la section transversale du noyau, la section transversale de la gaine déprimée et les indices de réfraction no, n1, et n2 sont sélectionnés afin d'obtenir une élimination d'ASE répartie à des longueurs d'onde plus longues que la longueur d'onde de coupure μc sur la longueur de l'amplificateur à fibre (10). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une telle sélection permet d'obtenir une courbe de perte d'affaiblissement relative à une longueur d'onde de coupure μc. La courbe de perte d'affaiblissement produit des pertes au moins comparables aux gains élevés dans la bande longue de longueur d'onde, et des pertes sensiblement inférieures aux gains positifs dans la bande courte de longueur d'onde. Afin d'obtenir la courbe de perte d'affaiblissement désirée, l'indice de réfraction no dans le noyau est sélectionné de façon qu'un indice neff efficace subi par le mode confiné optimise une pente d'affaiblissement de la courbe de perte d'affaiblissement avant la longueur d'onde de coupure.

Abstract: In a method and device for post-processing a decoded sound signal in view of enhancing a perceived quality of this decoded sound signal, the decoded sound signal is divided into a plurality of frequency sub-band signals, and post-processing is applied to at least one of the frequency sub-band signal. After post-processing of this at least one frequency sub-band signal, the frequency sub-band signals may be added to produce an output post-processed decoded sound signal. In this manner, the post-processing can be localized to a desired sub-band or sub-bands with leaving other sub-bands virtually unaltered.

Abstract: Polymeric multilayer optical films, and laminate bodies that include such films, are provided with a melt zone that extends between a first and second portion of the multilayer optical film. If a shearing operation or other external influence acts on the film in the first portion that causes delamination of individual layers of the multilayer optical film, the melt zone is effective to prevent the delamination from propagating from the first portion to the second portion. The melt zone is characterized at least in part by a deformation of individual layers of the multilayer optical film. The melt zone can be positioned to extend along and proximate to some or all of a periphery of the multilayer optical film.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'effectuer une sélection optimale des codes d'étalement d'une communication sans fil de manière à réduire le brouillage entre les trajets dans le canal de communication. Dans un étalement du spectre en séquence directe, les propriétés d'autocorrélation d'un code d'étalement ont des répercussions importantes sur la capacité inhérente d'un système à résister à la propagation par trajets multiples. Des codes de gain à faible étalement (ou codes 'courts') associés à des débits binaires élevés ne sont pas convenablement exécutés en cas de propagation par trajets multiples de large amplitude. Le système et le procédé décrits dans cette invention permettent de répondre à ce problème; en effet, le mode de réalisation consiste à sélectionner des codes d'étalement de manière à réduire le brouillage provoqué par la propagation par trajets multiples; à déterminer les caractéristiques de la liaison RF afin de sélectionner un code d'étalement qui réduira le brouillage entre les trajets.
